For a non-watch folk, this may seem like an unnecessary discussion. How can such a minute detail can make such a big difference in people’s preference and have the audacity to start a war of words between two die heart watch lovers. But when it’s about the most iconic watch in the history of watches, then the magnitude of competition is not less than any rivalry.
Let’s cut to the chase, yes we are talking about the Rolex and since Rolex is a legendary watch brand itself, we are here to compare two of the most famous units of this great brand. The Submariner Date with its date-less counterpart. It is not simple as it may seem, a simple detail like this can be of much importance for the watch lovers, and we are going to see how?
The No Date: A Mighty Choice
The Submariner ‘No Date’ made its way into the market in the 1950s. With a modest 40mm diameter, the variant is on the smaller side of Rolex traditional watches, but like other showcase pieces, looks can be deceptive. Wider borders give it a look of a larger watch, and it seems more like a 42mm. The dial also goes perfectly without minor detail or distractions, all thanks to slight branding and bullet point indices.
And it feels like the main strength of the No Date variant, it represents modesty. A rare and bold move from the brand, the watch pairs with a casual look just as well as perfect for any Monday morning meeting at the office. The simplicity could be considered a little more than the likes of Rolex, though the versatility always makes an impact.
The Submariner Date: Statement Maker
The Submariner Date comes with the only difference, as the name suggests, a date aperture. In 1966, the fishbowl to 3 o’clock was introduced to magnify the date aperture function to two and a half times. A classic looking watch with a statement addition. However, this inclusion just added a utility muscle to the watch but sometimes a watch doesn’t have to do much to stand out. When it comes to Rolex, it never fails to amaze people with the extrovert ideas. It comes down to personal taste in the end. The Rolex watches never disappoints as you will see in these two models, the forever glossy cerachrom bezel, the winding crown, and the incredible mechanics. The only thing which deviates one from another is that little Cyclops which could prove to be an impressive look for some while a beast to others.
The Final Decision
So, the final decision lies in your hands. Which watch you would like to see on your wrist? If you are looking to get a watch which could go with any dress code or event, and maximum wear, go for a No Date variant.
The Submariner Date’s has its charm but doesn’t feel like a showoff. A memorable piece of Rolex is better suited for special occasions. It may not go with every dress in your wardrobe and no matter which variant you pick, after all, you are still getting a Rolex.
